Once more on Ráma will we gaze,
Now to be lost for many days.
The queen his mother has, be sure,
A heart of iron, to endure
To see her godlike Ráma go,
Nor feel it shattered by the blow.
In plain words: The people want one last look at Rama before he is gone for years. They say his mother must have a heart of iron to watch him go and survive it.
